Hulk Hogan Is Returning to the WWE on Monday Night and Will Appear at WrestleMania 30

He may not look it, but Hulk Hogan is 60 years old right now and will turn 61 later this year. He also hasn't touched a WWE wrestling mat since 2007. But despite that, the Hulkster will be climbing back into the ring on Monday Night Raw next week—and it won't be the only appearance he'll make this year.

Earlier today, rumors about Hulk Hogan's return started circulating on the Internet. And this afternoon, the WWE confirmed that Hogan will appear on Raw on Monday night while simultaneously announcing that he will also be making an appearance at WrestleMania 30 on April 6.

"We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE," WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said in a statement. "It's fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of WrestleMania and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network."

The WWE Network is set to launch on Monday after Raw, which may be why Hogan is choosing to make a return right now.

"Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family," Hogan said.
